Don't confuse MF camera lenses with the longer enlarger focal length
lenses - not the same thing at all.
A bellows mount macro lens is very little different from an enlarger
lens - flat field, few elements, etc. Good ones are good. That nice
Zoerk company makes interesting adapters designed particularly for
using enlarger lenses for macro - they EXPECT you to use something
like a Rodenstock 105mm - and my older style Rodenstock even has a
49mm filter mount. :-)
